Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
150 1 An exhortation to praise the Lord without cease by all manner of ways for all his mighty and wonderful works.
Praise ye the Lord.
1 Praise ye God in his [a]Sanctuary: praise ye him in the [b]firmament of his power.
2 Praise ye him in his mighty Acts: praise ye him according to his excellent greatness.
3 Praise ye him in the sound of the [c]trumpet: praise ye him upon the viol and the harp.
4 Praise ye him with timbrel and flute: praise ye him with virginals and organs.
5 Praise ye him with sounding cymbals: praise ye him with high sounding cymbals.
6 Let everything that hath [d]breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
15 I will go, and return to my place, till they acknowledge their fault, and seek me: in their affliction, they will seek me diligently.
6 1 Affliction causeth a man to turn to God. 9 The wickedness of the Priests.
1 Come, and let [a]us return to the Lord: for he hath spoiled, and he will heal us: he hath wounded us, and he will bind us up.
2 After two days will [b]he revive us, and in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
3 Then shall we have knowledge, and endeavor ourselves to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning, and he shall come unto us as the rain, and as the latter rain unto the earth.
4 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, how shall I entreat thee? for [c]your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the morning dew it goeth away.
5 Therefore have I [d]cut down by the Prophets: I have slain them by the words of my mouth, and thy [e]judgments were as the light that goeth forth.
6 For I desired [f]mercy, and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
The Second Epistle of John
1 This Epistle is written to a woman of great renown, 4 who brought up her children in the fear of God: 6 he exhorteth her to continue in Christian charity, 7 that she accompany not with Antichrists, 10 but avoid them.
1 The Elder to the [a]elect [b]Lady, and her children, [c]whom I love in the truth: and not I only, but also all that have known the truth,
2 For the truth’s sake which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us forever:
3 Grace be with you, mercy and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, with [d]truth and love.
4 [e]I rejoiced greatly, that I found of thy children walking in [f]truth, as we have received a commandment of the Father.
5 And now beseech I thee, Lady, (not as writing a new commandment unto thee, but the same which we had from the beginning) that we (A)love one another.
6 And this is that love that we should walk after his commandments. This commandment is, that as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
